Hey all. The name is Chris, I am getting into the SCA here in Florida (Gainesville). Learning to do the SCA fighting thing, which is tough as I am turning 40 in a few weeks and have been driving a desk for far too many years.
I am doing a Roman persona, but getting the specifics keeps changing as I learn more.
I am very much into history, although I am sure not a fraction as well versed as you folks, I do want to make a decent stab at an accurate representation as I can (within SCA restrictions of course).
I have been digging through the information here for a few months and love what I have been able to find so far, GREAT STUFF.
Although I am in it for the fight so to speak, I am VERY concerned about getting as close to authentic as I can within those limits and the information I have found here, or linked from here has been a wonderful starting point on much of this.
My screen name is not all that Roman, but it has followed me for many years unchanged (online using that name for about 15 years) and if you see it on another forum, its probably me.
Thanks for letting me step aboard.
